Gates 93-97 Ford Probe / 93-02 Mazda 626 / 93-97 Mazda MX-6 Timing Belt Component Kit

This Gates timing belt component kit is built around a belt constructed with heat-resistant EPDM rubber, a material chosen for its ability to withstand the high temperatures found in the engine bay. This is crucial because the timing belt is responsible for keeping your engine's valves and pistons in sync, and failure can lead to serious engine damage. This kit is designed to replace the essential components that wear out over time, ensuring your engine runs smoothly and reliably.

Inside this kit, you'll find the timing belt itself, along with a new tensioner and idler pulley. Replacing these parts together is a smart move because they all work in conjunction. The tensioner keeps the belt at the correct tightness, preventing slippage, while the idler pulley guides the belt along its path. By swapping out all three at once, you're addressing potential weak points and setting your engine up for a long time with proper timing. This approach helps prevent premature wear on the new belt and ensures consistent performance.

This kit is a solid option for your 1993-1997 Ford Probe, 1993-2002 Mazda 626, 1993-1997 Mazda MX-6, or 2001-2003 Mazda Protege/Protege5. When you're tackling a timing belt job, it's always best practice to replace all the related components at the same time to avoid having to do the job twice if another part fails soon after. This kit makes that process straightforward.
